Watching this video brought tears to my eyes. Both for the beautiful of the techniques and the memory it brought back when I had the honor and privilege of being taught this drill by the late, great Sukiyaki Kotani.

If only it was the best video resolution ever 🎥📺

[@durrantkeith]

Why didn't Uke transfer his grip on the second step of kata guruma left and right? Has the IJF changed this technique?

[@herisukamto4581]

[@rodneycox7462]

I was impressed by the yoko-gake. Of course the start position for tomoe-nage has since changed, but was correct for the time.

[@lyrictroy6717]

instablaster...

[@Isnogood12]

It was a good kata, but far from the best. That sasae was really beautiful, but the uchimata was basically an ashiguruma.

[@rodneycox7462]

Rubbish! uchimata illustrated the technique very well - nothing like an ashi-guruma. What were their scores?

[@cucciafr68]

I feel the uchi mata was pretty good, except maybe the direction the were facing. I don't see the ashi guruma you are talking about.

[@dariodesansebastian]

The uchi mata in the nage no kata is a pure ashi waza uchi mata, not like the almost koshi waza uchi mata that is performed in competitions!

[@robertjan2628]

What are you talking about?! This couple is best of the best

[@saymanbg]

Stumbled on the right side harai-goshi.

[@mfp5585]

Throws didnt look very powerful in this one, even for kata standards

[@danbeaudreau499]

I don't believe a single strike in this set...

[@marvelousmrjohn]

Because it's a throw demonstration and a demonstration of understanding how physics work in relation to humans. If you want to see strikes, there are other katas.

[@sebozz2046]

useless in MMA or real fight

[@marvelousmrjohn]

Just like you.

[@henhenhenhen06]

ronda rousey, Karo Parisyan

[@mitchelhuott8484]

Kata is for practicing technique, not for being the best at competitive Judo

[@raphael.portela]

you are useless

[@Vaitamanu]

Floral art too is useless in MMA.
